Setting the standard for modern cob construction – from design,
engineering, and building code compliance, to sculpting beautiful
structures Cob – a mix of clay, sand, and straw – is one of the
most popular and well-known natural building methods. Yet cob is
often difficult to permit and can be used in inappropriate ways due
to a lack of sound engineering and design information. Recent
research and a newly developed building code promise to make cob
building more accessible than ever. Essential Cob Building sets the
new standard for cob construction. Incorporating rigorous,
up-to-date engineering and building science and decades of
practical lessons learned, coverage includes: Appropriate use of
cob in different climates and contexts Thermal performance and
moisture management Structural and architectural design
considerations, including fire and earthquake resistance data from
extensive laboratory testing Hands-on cob construction, including
mix design, testing, manual and mechanical mixing, wall building,
strong connections with foundations, roofs, and other structural
elements, and finishing options Building code development and the
permitting process for cob Planning, budgeting, and quality control
The complete Cob Construction Appendix of the International
Residential Code. Essential Cob Construction is required reading
for engineers, architects, designers, contractors, and
owner-builders working with this ancient, aesthetically pleasing,
low-carbon building material.
